SANTIAGO, Chile — When Claudia Laos-Loo tells people she competes in kata, she's prepared for"what's that?" and"why do you scream?"
"What I find intriguing about kata is seeing someone go from such a relaxed state to the explosiveness and surprise elements of an attack," Laos-Loo said. "I like to think of it as a way to release all your emotions, to not hold back. It's also physiological," Laos-Loos said."You have to release all that carbon dioxide in your body to make sure the movement is full force. It is a way to release your fears.
Laos-Loo, who competed at a national level in kumite, began training kata in 2019, but not in time for Tokyo. "I love being surrounded by people who have like-mindedness. I think I don't get that enough locally where I'm from so whenever we come to big events as a team, I feel more at ease knowing I have people who support me and we support each other doing the things that we love."
